Hi Justin,

re:

> noaaportingester?

I am referring to the NOAAPort component of current LDM releases.  
'noaaportingester' is
one of the two ways that can be used out of this component to ingest the UDP
stream coming from a DVBS-2 receiver (most users use Novra S300N receivers, but 
there
are others) that is getting the NOAAPort SBN signal.  We recommend the use of
'noaaportingester' as it combine the ingest and productization capabilities of
the 'dvbs_multicast' and 'readnoaaport' routines.  We continue to provide
'dvbs_multicast' and 'readnoaaport' since a number of sites still use these
instead of 'noaaportingester' because that is the way they first setup their
NOAAPort ingest.

The reason I asked is that there are other NOAAPort ingest packages that users 
may
use.  We can't say if any of those other packages classify products into LDM/IDD
datastreams in the exact same way that our package does.  If you were using a
different package, then you might have to adjust your LDM configuration file
setup when switching from getting data via the IDD to NOAAPort ingest.

Cheers,

Tom
